Small Boat
to CoronationBase H - Signy Island Antarctica

The very thought of doing this today would
probably result in someone in Cambridge popping a blood vessel. As it was
we enjoyed the adventure and then worried about what might have happened
in bed at night (well I did anyway - maybe I was just a wuss).

In 2007 Coronation is considered to be out
of the range of Signy boats and so a trip there is no longer possible, the
hut at Shingle cove with its supplies has been removed for some official
reason, but probably mainly just in case someone gives it a go.

I don't know what boats Signy currently has,
but I bet they are a lot more sea-worthy than this underpowered, leaky dinghy
that people would take over occasionally on a calm day.

This picture is one of a collection assembled in
2007 on the 60th anniversary of Signy Island Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W.
Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in
Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd and then
placed here on the web.
